Mail can be received here (essential that you call ahead to arrange pickup). Address packages to yourself in care of: Berkshire Lakeside Lodge, 3949 Jacob’s Ladder Rd, Rt 20, Becket, MA 01223 and be sure an estimated time of arrival appears (your phone number is also helpful if possible). Note: We reserve the right to dispense any package content to our communal hiker box if not retrieved by sender a month after the delivery date.

A variety of soda pop is available for $1.00 on honor basis (place money in cup in fridge) in our breakfast room adjacent to the office which is open 24/7.

Hiker Box: Hikers leave useable items for other hikers on the AT in the box provided in our breakfast room. You are invited to drop in to browse the contents, get a cool drink, fill up your water bottle and say hello!

We also provide an assortment of soaps and shampoos (when available) on first-come, first-serve basis.

Transportation: Park Taxi in Lee, MA, at #413-243-0020 (just 6 miles from us) will pick you up and take you to your next destination. We strongly suggest that you phone ahead as this is a small taxi company and not always available. Currently there are Uber drivers too. If you’re not having any luck with those, call us for some other options.
